For many months now it has never completed, and I have to manually run it from the CLI. (which runs fine). The cronjob runs as root. It isn't failing because of a PATH problem, (it's just /usr/local/bin/analog running in dozens of repetitions) /usr/bin/limits shows most limits as infinity I don't get any email error message .. nothing! it just quits! any ideas? Thanks
